Question

What is meant by extracellular digestion? How is it different from intracellular digestion?​

Answer 1

Extracellular digestion	Intracellular digestion
The process in which the digestion of food takes place outside the cell is called extracellular digestion.	The process in which food is digested in the vacuoles inside the cells is called intracellular digestion.​
Digestive enzymes are secreted into the cavity of alimentary canal. ​	Digestive enzymes are secreted into the food vacuole. ​
Digestive products diffuse across the intestinal wall into various parts of the body. ​	Digestive product diffuse into the cytoplasm.
For example, in mammals, the process takes place within the lumen of the digestive system.	For example, in amoeba the process takes place inside the cell.
